Abstract: Filtered-sunlight phototherapy (FSPT) that blocks ultraviolet light and reduces infrared radiation is safe and non-inferior to intensive electric phototherapy (IEPT) for treating mild-to-severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. In this randomized non-inferiority trial, the safety, efficacy, exchange transfusion (ET), and mortality rates of FSPT versus IEPT among Nigerian neonates with severe-to-hazardous hyperbilirubinemia were investigated. Safety was defined as the absence of hyperthermia, hypothermia, dehydratio… Show more
